FC Dallas crashes out of US Open Cup to Charleston
<font face="Arial"><font size="3">FC Dallas crashed out of the <strong><a href="http://www.soccermogul.com">Lamar Hunt US Open Cup</a></strong> losing in the quarterfinals to USL side Charleston Battery at Pizza Hut Park.&nbsp;&nbsp; The <strong>Charleston Battery</strong> claimed a convincing 3-1 victory Tuesday night at Pizza Hut Park, eliminating FC Dallas from the competition in front of an announced crowd of 5,911.&nbsp;&nbsp; FC Dallas became the second MLS team to lose to the Battery in this year's Cup. Charleston, which leads the United Soccer League's First Division, defeated the Houston Dynamo on July 1 in penalty kicks. </font><p><font size="3">It was the third straight year FC Dallas and Charleston met in the Cup. FC Dallas needed overtime to get past the lower-division team in the previous meetings.&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;For a game that has Lamar Hunt's name on it, that makes the competition more special,&quot; said Kenny Cooper, who scored FC Dallas' lone goal in the 94th minute. &quot;And tonight, we didn't get the result that we wanted.&quot; </font></p><p><font size="3">Former Dallas Burn striker <strong>Lazo Alavanja</strong> opened the scoring in the 28th minute after stealing the ball from defender Blake Wagner. Alavanja flipped the ball over goalie Dario Sala just outside the area.&nbsp;&nbsp; The game was suspended because of lighting in the 39th minute. The delay lasted for almost an hour.&nbsp;&nbsp; Four minutes after the game restarted, <strong>Ian Fuller</strong> made the score 2-0. Charleston's Randi Patterson added an unassisted goal in the 91st minute.</font> </p></font>
